When Walt Disney Pictures released its first 'Pirates of the Caribbean "in 2003 soon became obvious they were a winner.
Since the beginning of the film, when there were classics like "Captain Blood" in 1935 and "The Sea Hawk" in 1940, there have been very few films of pirates are real noteworthy. Only a few examples come to mind as Roman Polanski's 'Pirates' in 1986 and "The Goonies", which made good use of a pirate based on history. Another film that must be mentioned, although for different reasons is 1995's 'Cutthroat Island'. This calamity of a movie ended with an incredible dollar cost $ 100 million over time. The film came to recover a mere $ 11 million U.S. dollars. The Guinness Book of Records describes him as "the greatest loss of box office," while The Washington Post said "lame cliff on the island heads cut '-hangers are enough to make a bridge Cliff'.
So, as you can see, there is a gap in the film industry waiting to be filled with a good old fashion movie pirates.
Enter Johnny Depp. Unless you're one of the few people who have not seen one of the "Pirates of the films Caribbean, "then more than likely agree when I say that Mr. Depp is perfectly cast as Captain Jack Sparrow. It would be very difficult trying to imagine that someone else can play the role anywhere near as well as Depp. Who else would be bizarre, camp, cool, sexy and fun all at once? Of the many modern actors have in Hollywood today is to say that Johnny Depp should be one of the most versatile. The range of parts played has been varied and impressive.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean films' each has been received very positively by adults and children alike. They are the equivalent of the highly successful series "Indiana Jones with Harrison 'Ford. They are good family movie, something that is increasingly hard to find nowadays.
Pirates today "Caribbean" has become one of the biggest franchises of all time movie. There have been numerous games based on movies (including an online game that was released by Disney themselves), special Pirates' of the Caribbean edition of Monopoly and even a 'Pirates of the Caribbean version of "Battleships game is available.
In interviews after the release of the first film of the series, "The Curse of the Black Pearl ', Johnny Depp confessed he had in part the model of your character on aging rocker Keith Richards. Richards made a cameo in the third film in the series, "At World's End", as Captain Teague, who is the father of Captain Jack Sparrow. It was assumed that have appeared in 'The Curse of the Black Pearl', but writers could not manage to fit it in the story.
Unfortunately, the public will have to wait long before the next installment of 'Pirates of the Caribbean. "The fourth film in the series," The Fountain of Youth', is scheduled for release in 2012.
